> Prior to pipelined shuffle, tez merged all spilled data into a single file.  This ended up creating one index file and one output file. In this context, TaskCounter.ADDITIONAL_SPILL_COUNT was referred as the number of additional spills and there was no counter needed to track the number of merges.
> With pipelined shuffle, there is no final merge and ADDITIONAL_SPILL_COUNT would be misleading, as these spills are direct output files which are consumed by the consumers.
> It would be good to have the following 
> - ADDITIONAL_SPILL_COUNT: represents the spills that are needed by the task to generate the final merged output
> - TOTAL_SPILLS: represents the total number of shuffle directories (index + output files) that got created at the end of processing.
> For e.g, Assume sorter generated 5 spills in an attempt
> Without pipelining:
> ==============
> ADDITIONAL_SPILL_COUNT = 5 <-- Additional spills involved in sorting
> TOTAL_SPILLS = 1 <-- Final merged output
> With pipelining:
> ============
> ADDITIONAL_SPILL_COUNT = 0 <-- Additional spills involved in sorting
> TOTAL_SPILLS = 5 <--- all spills are final output
